Next Stop...

My Babe imposed gag order has been lifted and I am now allowed to spill the beans that he has started a new job annnd...WE ARE MOVING!

I can't believe we're moving to the very same town where my good friend Dorli grew up in this home after yeeeaaars of having her retell me stories like the time her father asked, "Whooo???NOOO!" and slammed the door in the faces of Billy Joel's people when they knocked seeking permission to film the River of Dreams music video from a boat with her house as the backdrop...

And, how her mother wouldn't allow them out after dark following the death of Martha Moxley cuz there was a murderer on the loose in town...

It's the town where I'll be just a 20 minute drive from my cousin Melissa and her family in one direction and a 20 minute drive from thisli'l hombre in the other...

Yup. Babe's très hard work has landed us a gig in Greenwich, CT. But, not til I'm ready to hang up my beach house spurs at the end of the summer, natch...

Kindness of Babe who is generously continuing to live the planes, trains and black car life for three more long months just so that I we can eek out our summer lease at the beach. And, Monty Morris for keeping his snout sealed as promised and Maxminimus for not following through on his threat to "tell effing everyone"...XXOO

What excitement to look forward to at the end of the summer! Lolly and Pilgie (or whatever they are being called this week) are going to love having a big house to roam around in. Was that your house in the photo? Happy Summer.

I WISH! that's the Indian Harbor girlhood home of my friend Dorli. The one that Billy Joel's people wanted in his music video. We are hoping to rent a cottage/carriage house on some shwank estate. Use of tennis court and pool always welcome :)

Congratulations, Alice! That's so exciting. I am sure Pilgie and Lolly Cakes are excited to meet all the new neighbors in swanky Greenwich. Will Babe's new job keep him closer to home or will he still be a world traveler? xo xo

you should totally contact me. I know we have not met, but I am great friend of Tracy's + Ellen's (and the rest of the Ciciotte gals) Lived in Colorado, but now am in CT (Litchfield county). You will LOVE Greenwich! Love your Blog!

How exciting and all best wishes for an uneventful move (you will be sharing all your a/r organizational tips along the way, right?!), and, of course, when you need a little southern prep just head back down to Furman and G'Vegas--even "the Martha" stops in occasionally, doncha know!

Adore the house pic... and the Dominick Dunne book... and the doggie pic, won't your babies be jealous of a doggie pic...and your wonderful news!!! Cindy Rinfret has a book "Classic Greenwich Style" you might like. I have it on my coffee table along with my Henrietta Spencer-Churchill and Charlotte Moss design books.

Moi

I am a tongue-in-cheek bon vivant living in Greenwich, CT with my globe trotting husband Babe and our nutty Himalayans, George and Lolly Rockefeller.
Rendezvous with me, an old school prep, as I juggle aspirations of being on the "Best Dressed Parisienne Gypset List", endless summering, Hermès wish lists, Diet Coke and pretzel lunches, white bikinis, PTH's, sisters, nieces, bff's, all things Lilly, Mrs. Roper and the resurrection of the Jacques Cohen espadrille.
